In Response To: Strip: Can't decide- which kayak- company (Mike Josephson)

: Looking to build a stripper- I'm 6'- 200- experianced whitewater paddler-
: have some boatbuilding exp.- drift boat. I want a high performance kayak I
: can take for a few days if I want but still fun for everyday
: paddling-surfing. I wasn't pleased at all with the plans or support with
: my driftboat so I'm looking for some advice. I've been impressed with
: One-ocean, Guillemot, Laughing Loon. Thanx for any help

Sounds like you're very clear about what you want to do with the boat. I'd get in contact with all those designers and ask for a referral to someone that's used one of their designs for that purpose. Can't help you there since I've not done any surfing, whitewater, etc. I wonder if Jay Babina's Outer Island would fit into your range of possible boats?
